Take Care of Your Ankles on the BBall Court
Ankle injuries are common in basketball. Even if you’re only playing a pickup game, give your ankles a good stretch before and after you play. And if you sustain an injury or soreness that lasts for more than a day, come in for a good neuromuscular massage.

Massage is Good for Myasthenia Gravis
Because massage increases blood flow to the tissues, and help to repair injury and restore range of motion, it has been used successfully with many different movement disorders.
Myasthenia Gravis is caused by the body’s immune system attacking the receptors where the muscles and nerves connect. This makes it difficult for the muscles to contract and leads to fatigue and weakness. Neuromuscular massage can help increase blood flow to the muscles and is also helpful in stress reduction. Stress is a common complaint of MG patients due to their inability to plan for when their muscle weakness will happen or for how long.

Massage is Good for Huntington’s Disease
Because massage increases blood flow to the tissues, and help to repair injury and restore range of motion, it has been used successfully with many different movement disorders.
Huntingtons is a hereditary degenerative brain disorder that causes involuntary movements and slowly disminishes the person’s ability to walk and move effectively. While there is no cure for Huntington’s Disease, massage can help relieve muscle rigidity or loss of range of motion caused by the repetitiveness of the involuntary movements.

Massage is Good for Dystonia
Although not as common as Parkinsons, dystonia has some of the same symptoms including involuntary muscle contractions that can occur in any part of the body including an entire muscle group such as the quads, or in small muscle groups such as the eyelids, or vocal cords. Those patients experiencing dystonia in the core and extremity muscles can achieve great relief of their symptoms with good neuromuscular massage.

Massage is Good for Parkinson’s Disease
Because massage increases blood flow to the tissues, and help to repair injury and restore range of motion, it has been used successfully with many different movement disorders.
Parkinsons is a neurological movement disorder that is characterized by tremors, muscle rigidity, akinesia (the temporary inability to move), dyskinesia (the inability to conduct specific voluntary movements at will) and loss of postural reflexes. One of the results of Parkinsons disease are increasing stiffness and tremors leading to muscle exhaustion similar to what athletes experience when training at full effort. The available oxygen in the muscle is insufficient for the work load demanded of them. Because Parkinsons Disease doesn’t offer the muscles a period of rest after use, massage can help to restore the blood flow, and therefore the oxygen available to those muscles. Although studies are ongoing, massage is also thought to be helpful in increasing distribution of the L-dopa drugs often used to treat Parkinsons.
